Essentials for the Puppies

While there are a lot of products that can wait a few days before purchasing, puppies will need some essentials right away.  It’s important to have a supply of puppy food on hand because most puppies need to eat several times during the day.  It’s also a good idea to have a dog collar and a leash for potty training.  While most puppies won’t be able to control their bladder and will pee on the floor for the first couple weeks, it’s best to get them in the habit of using the outdoors to relieve their bladders.  For those people doing crate training, it’s best to have the crate available right away.  Puppies need to start associating their crate with their home at a young age.  The first night with a new puppy is often the worst; they will bark and bark and probably keep you awake.  But as time goes on the barking will start to decrease.

 

Having these essentials available when you pick up a new puppy will help them and their owner to be much happier.  Make sure to play with your puppy often too; human contact is essential for their development!
